I'm coming up empty thinking of any context other than computing or video 
where "size" attempts to imply one dimension. Clearly a 21" LCD display 
cannot have only one dimension, but a size 9 shoe is obviously not 
one-dimensional. A size XL shirt is obviously not one-dimensional. A size 
205/70-15 tire is obviously not one-dimensional. To me it's clearer if 
referring to a width or a height when a word generically meaning a single 
length or width or dimension is used instead of one normally used outside a 
CSS context for an area or a volume.
